__**Background information**__
The Club of Rome was founded in 1968 as an association of independent leading personalities from politics, business and science, men and women who are interested in contributing in a systemic interdisciplinary and holistic to obtain a better world. The members share a common concern for the future of humanity and the planet.

__Aims__
To identify the most crucial problems which will determine the future of humanity through analysis; to evaluate alternative scenarios for the future, choices and opportunities; to develop and propose practical solutions ; to communicate the new insights and knowledge derived from this analysis to decision-makers in the public and private sectors and also to the general public and to stimulate public debate and effective action to improve the prospects for the future.

__Participation__
The Club of Rome currently consists of approximately 100 individual members; over 30 national and regional associations; the International Centre in Winterthur, a European Support Centre in Vienna and the Club of Rome Foundation, which provides the opportunity for major individual donors to be involved, to participate in the development and dissemination of the Club’s projects and messages.

The Club of Rome, in its early years, focused on the nature of the global problems, on the “limits to growth” and for world development. The Club of Rome is focusing in its new programme by defining and communicating the need for, the vision and the elements of a new economy, which produces real wealth and wellbeing; which does not degrade our natural resources and provides meaningful jobs and sufficient income for all people. The new programme will also address underlying values, beliefs and paradigms. Souce: http://www.clubofrome.org/?p=324
